Short-Haired Cat Society/Korat Cat Association/Rex Cat Association Joint Show 10.01.09
Mrs Val AndersonThanks to Celia and her team for the invite to the Short-Haired Cat Society Show and to Lynda Ashmore for the Rex and Korat classes. I was a little apprehensive about how the joint show would work but I managed to find all the cats without any difficulty and the catalogue was well thought out if a little difficult to read with the small typeface. I didn’t have a booked steward but Heather Boucher came to my rescue and managed to steward for me as well as judging non-pedigrees and attending an AGM in the afternoon! Thanks for all your help Heather it was much appreciated.

RUSSIAN BLUE ADULT MALE
1ST CC BOND-WONEBERGER’S FURBELL STARGAZER (16a) M 03.03.08A young boy, only just an adult but well-grown & of a good weight for his size. His head reflects his immaturity but he has a lovely Russian expression. Flat skull, short wedge & good angle. Very slight dip to the profile, level bite but his chin could be deeper and falls off a fraction at the tip. Lovely prominent whisker pads. Large vertically set ears and almond-shaped eyes that are set a touch deep. Long well-fed body with elegant limbs & oval paws. Moderately long tail that tapers nicely but is rather thick at the base. Dense coat, very soft & fine, double and plushy. Medium blue with a well-developed silvery sheen & sound to the roots. A gentle lad who was easy to handle. A promising young man!
2ND SEDGWICK’S CATWO KORLYA (16a) M 27.11.07A large boy of only 13 months, young but very well-grown. Head with a flat skull, short wedge & good angle & profile. Deep chin that rounds off a touch, bite acceptable but verging on being under. Prominent whisker pads. Very large ears with a broad base but they are set a fraction wide and he tends to flare them. Large almond-shaped eyes of a pale but clear green colour. Long well-grown body with elegant limbs but rather thick tail. Fine coat, double and reasonably soft though it could be plushier. Medium blue colour with a silvery sheen. He wasn’t keen on the other cats and had a bit of a grumble but was OK to handle.
RUSSIAN BLUE ADULT FEMALE
